Concrete form stripping tool
A tool for removing, from a set concrete wall, a concrete form of a type having a discontinuous structure is provided. The tool comprises a lever arm, comprising an engagement portion and a grasping portion. The engagement portion is positioned near one end of the lever arm, and the grasping portion is positioned near an opposite end of the lever arm. An engagement member is secured to the engagement portion. The engagement member is configured to engage the discontinuous structure. A pivoting member is mounted on the lever arm proximate the engagement portion. The pivoting member defines a pivot point around which the lever arm may rotate, whereby the engagement member will apply force to the discontinuous structure tending to pull the concrete form away from the set concrete wall when the engagement portion of the lever arm is pulled away from the set concrete wall when the engagement member is in engagement with the discontinuous structure.

Modular walled spa and method of construction
Systems and methods for modular walled systems, such as modular walled spas and modular walled privacy fences and can protect pool and spa equipment from the public. In one embodiment, the modular walled system includes an outer frame disposed within a medial frame, and an inner frame disposed within the medial frame, wherein each frame includes a set of brace assemblies that connect to rebar grids. The brace assemblies may include a foot plate and threaded couplers. The wall system also provides protective room for electrical raceways and a secure anchor substrate to attach electronics, panels, boxes or lighting systems.
Ceiling table and ceiling formwork comprising such a ceiling table
A ceiling table for a partial formwork of a concrete ceiling. The ceiling table has at least one formwork element, in particular multiple formwork elements, which can be assembled on a lower frame of the ceiling table in a nondestructive manner and which can be disassembled from the lower frame. The ceiling table has a support skeleton on which at least one formwork element, in particular multiple formwork elements, is/are arranged. The support skeleton can have multiple braces which can be connected together and separated from one another in a nondestructive manner. The support skeleton preferably has a pair of main supports, in particular parallel running main supports, on which a pair of edge supports and at least one central support that is arranged between the edge supports are arranged. The edge supports and the central support run preferably parallel to one another.

CONCRETE FORM APPARATUS
Disclosed herein is a concrete form apparatus that can be utilized to establish a rigid perimeter within which concrete can be poured for curing. A first component of the concrete form apparatus can be composed of a flat rigid material that is rectangular in shape and includes perforations along the lengthwise dimension of the material such that, when the material is folded along the perforations, an internal cavity is formed. The second component of the concrete form apparatus can be composed of a material having dimensions sized in accordance with the internal cavity of the folded material such that the first component can be folded along the perforations in the manner described above to encapsulate the second component within the internal cavity. Adhesive layers can be applied to prevent the concrete form apparatus from separating, and layers of the concrete form apparatus can be coated with a waterproofing substance.

Formwork panel assembly with releasable connecting member and method of removing the formwork
This disclosure relates to a formwork panel assembly to mold upwardly extending building features such as columns or walls, that extend between adjacent floor slabs. In one aspect, the formwork panel assembly comprises at least two surface forming elements, and at least one connecting element adapted for removable location between the two surface forming elements, where adjacent edges of the surface forming elements abut against the connecting element so that the resulting formwork assembly forms a single, continuous casting surface, and wherein in use, the or each connecting element is separately releasable from the formwork assembly once a concrete surface has been formed.

Systems, devices, and methods for molding structures
Systems, methods, and articles of manufacture provide for a mold system for molding structures (e.g., sand castles) from one or more various types of molding substances (e.g., sand, clay, snow). In one embodiment, a mold system comprises a split mold comprising at least two mold sections. In one embodiment, a modular mold system allows for different types of mold sections with corresponding joining elements to be joined together to create forms for molding various types of structures. In some embodiments, mold sections are configured to facilitate the breaking of a vacuum created when molding substances are packed into the mold system, thus making it easier to separate a mold from the formed structure.
